I'm sorry it has taken me SO long to post. I am back my friends. Since last week I have been SO busy with school and hospice. I feel bad that I left you guys hanging. The doctor appointment last week went well. First of all, he was shocked when he saw me. He had to make sure he was in the right room. Since my last visit, I lost 163 pounds. The man actually hugged me. It was so cute. I actually cried on him because I thanked him for always respecting me. I guess I was very emotional. But, I really spoke to him from my heart. He diagnosed me with a sinus infection. The hoarseness is from post nasal drip. I must of relapsed or something because I still feel like crap. My voice still sounds like I should forget being a medical assistant and work as a 1-900 operator. LOL! I got a full work-up because he wanted to get a full assessment of "the new Jodi" which he kept calling me. I had to do blood work, urinalysis and an EKG. The MA thought it was funny because I wanted to put the leads on myself since I know how to do an EKG now. I thought it might of been too much if I asked her if I could draw my own blood. I guess I have to draw a line somewhere. LOL! Anyway, long story short...blood work came out fantastic. My blood pressure came down 14 points. I'm good to go. Now if I could just shake this sinus thing and get my voice back. Well, I am glad I am sick now and not for May 8th!!! Bloggy meet-up day in CT. (Bud...check your FB email when you have time. Bookkitten, I left you a post on FB too)
School has been so busy. Clinicals is alot more intense than the business part. Today we were doing injections on oranges. Fun, fun. I think I really have a pissed off orange though. I stuck it like 100 times. LOL! We had to do three kinds of different sticks. Hospice is going great. I am doing a project for a man that is on Hospice which is taking alot of time but is going to be so worth it. He and his family are going to love it. I wish I could say more about it but I can't because of the privacy policy.
Well my friends, I am off to go do some homework. I have loads of it. I also have a project due on the pacemaker for next week. I got my hands full for sure. I hope you are all well, healthy, and happy. Sorry I've been a stranger!!!
